it REALLY annoys me these days when they show those simple, garishly painted versions of old marble statues and claim that the statues looked like that. like yeah, they were painted, we can find bits of color in various locations, so we know very roughly the color of various locations, but i dont think theres any more reason to believe they were painted in these flat (and matte!) colors than in more detail. like yes, we dont know what that detail was, but that doesnt make the flat version *more plausible*, i dont think you should have like, a stronger prior that they were flat than that they were detailed. these were expensive statues!

I remember it being pointed out once that we can only tell the base color that first touched the statue, not any additional shading, and the recreations are typically made by people who aren't artists; they're archeologists and anthropologists.

If you've ever seen how people paint, like dnd figures, it becomes very clear that bases don't tell the whole story:

Do you really think that people who could sculpt like the left painted like the right

This statue was recovered from Herculaneum - it had been buried under ash, perfectly preserved. Note that it is painted, but in a very delicate way. Nothing garish, and they used to natural luster of the marble as flesh tone.
